This edition of Oedipus Tyrannus is abridged from the full edition and differs mainly in the omission of an English translation. It contains an introduction, the Greek text and commentary in English. The full editions of all the plays, including Oedipus Tyrannus, are also available from Bristol Classical Press.
R.C. Jebb, Regius Professor of Greek and Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, was one of the foremost classicists of the Victorian era. His editions of Sophocles' plays appeared in the last fifteen years of the nineteenth century.
